[Vision2020] From my own personal experience . . .

[Joan Opyr]

Having met Mrs. Budge and the youngest of the Budgies -- and having 
eaten an excellent pizza with them and with Dave in Missoula, MT -- I 
would agree that Dave has good reason to brag.  His wife and daughter 
are beautiful people in every sense of the word.

But, Dave, do you really want to argue that size does matter?  That, my 
friend, is the road to perdition!

PS: Melynda's family, too, is a zipcode.  She is the eldest of seven.  
I am the eldest of three.  Funny that we were both raised not only by 
heterosexuals but by (statistically speaking) reproductive 
overachievers.  Whenever I go to a family reunion, I feel like that 
little boy in The Sixth Sense: "I see straight people."

PPS: Remember those Wheatgerm and Honey Shampoo ads in the 1970s?  "I 
told two friends about it, and they told two friends about it, and so 
on, and so on, and so on . . ."  I don't think reproduction, 
heterosexuality, or the spread of back-asswards thinking work that way, 
Doug.  Better re-think your plans to take over the earth with the 
Farris genes.

PPPS: The Osmonds are way ahead of you.
